Well, for starters, FX hopes it will be “The Comedians,” a new series starring Josh Gad and Billy Crystal premiering Thursday, April 9 at 10 p.m.

In the half-hour sitcom — which marks Crystal’s first series role since “Soap” in the late ’70s — Crystal and Gad play (skewed) versions of themselves, even using their real-life names.

Crystal is the comedy legend who’s (reluctantly) forced to work with the “edgy” up-and-comer (Gad) in a late-night sketch-comedy series called “The Billy & Josh Show” as “The Comedians” tracks the pair’s relationship, both on-screen and behind-the-scenes (a la “The Larry Sanders Show” and “30 Rock”).

Co-stars include Stephnie Weir — as the nervous-nellie producer of “The Billy & Josh Show” — Matt Oberg as the show’s head writer and Megan Ferguson as a mouthy production assistant.

Crystal is a co-writer and executive producer of “The Comedians,” which was created by “Seinfeld”/“Curb Your Enthusiasm” veteran Larry Charles, Matt Nix (“Burn Notice”) and Ben Wexler (“Community”).
